Standing opposite the "HOLLYWOOD" sign, Griffith Observatory is a landmark of Los Angeles and where many famous films and TV shows have been filmed. Come at sunset and evening to watch the stunning LA sunset, city lights and the starry sky. Astronomical exhibitions are display in lively fashion in the Observatory's halls, where the ceiling is hanged with models of the eight planets of the solar system and decorated with exquisite murals. The dome theater here is modeled on the sky canopy. Lying on the seat and watching films about the evolution of celestial bodies, the vast universe seems to be within reach.

Griffith Observatory is located at 2800 E Observatory Rd., Los Angeles, California 90027United States.It is an Art Deco stargazing spot atop Mount Hollywood in Griffith Park. For those astronomy enthusiasts or who are interested in stargazing is one of the best spot. The Griffith Observatory is one of the most visited observatories in the world with various reasons. Beside arts and stargazing, the view of Hollywood sign from here with the photogenic views is where many visitors as well. Of course, Griffith Observatory's main draw, though the free entry was certainly a bonus. A fee of between $6 and $10 to see the planetarium shows is worth it if you happen to be there too.
The Graphis Observatory at the top of the hill is close to the Hollywood landmark and is one of the best places to take a picture with it. Astronomical knowledge of eight planets and cosmic objects is on display at the observatory, which has a history of nearly 100 years. The top ball theater is built to imitate the sky. Tourists lean back on their seats, 360 176, to enjoy films about the evolution of celestial bodies. Tourists seem to be in the vast universe, naked-eye 3D technology makes everything in the universe close to hand. The open-air terrace on the top can also see the whole city of Los Angeles, with orderly streets, neat urban buildings and skyscrapers in the city. It has a special charm to see the red sun setting on the platform at sunset. Every night, the observatories with giant astronomical telescopes are open to the public free of charge. Visitors can clearly see the stars in the sky, even the surface of the moon, and enjoy the wonder of the astronomical world. Super recommend you to watch!
The Griffith Observatory has free parking and free visits on the mountains, but parking spaces are hard to find during rush hours. The road up the hill was very blocked, and it was difficult to move on. Finally, we reached the parking lot of the Observatory. We waited a while before we finally got lucky to find a parking space. We closed at 10PM on the day we went, and we were still looking for parking space at 9:30PM, so that it was not long before we went into the Observatory and saw several exhibitions. But apart from the Observatory, the night view of Los Angeles is also very beautiful, and it is not in vain to drive up. Hollywood signs can also be seen in the daytime.
